About the Park
Small dogs get their own off-leash section at Platte Landing Park in Parkville, separate from the large-dog area, along the Missouri River north of Kansas City. Keeping smaller breeds apart from bigger dogs makes for calmer, safer play. The space is free to use as part of a public park. Fencing, surface, and hours are not detailed in this listing, so check the on-site signs and gates before letting your dog loose. The riverfront location is open and can be warm in the humid western-Missouri summer, so bring water on hot days. Parkville's downtown and the surrounding park trails are close, making it simple to combine off-leash time with a longer walk by the river.
